Protein Kinase 2 (CK2) Controls CD8+ T-cell Effector and Memory Function during Infection

ABSTRACT: Protein kinase 2 (CK2) is a serine/threonine kinase composed of two catalytic subunits (CK2α and/or CK2α') and two regulatory subunits (CK2β). CK2 has been shown to promote cancer progression by regulating the NF-κB, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, JAK/STAT and HIF-1α pathways, and also plays a critical role for immune cell development and function. However, the potential involvement of CK2 in CD8+ T-cell function has not explored. Here, we demonstrate that CK2 protein levels and kinase activity are enhanced upon CD8+ T-cell activation. CK2α deficiency results in impaired CD8+ T-cell activation and proliferation upon TCR stimulation. Furthermore, CK2α is involved in CD8+ T-cell metabolic reprogramming during activation through regulating the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Lastly, using a Listeria monocytogenes infection model, we demonstrate that CK2α is required for CD8+ T-cell expansion, maintenance and effector function in both primary and memory immune responses. Taken together, our study implicates CK2 as an important regulator of CD8+ T-cell activation and differentiation both in vitro and in vivo.

Substrate selectivity for semisynthetic CK2 proteins with various posttranslational modifications

Project description:Protein Ser/Thr kinase CK2 is involved in a myriad of cellular processes including cell growth and proliferation by phosphorylating hundreds of substrates, yet the regulation process of CK2 function is poorly understood. The CK2 catalytic subunit, CK2α, is modified by O-GlcNAc on Ser347 proximal to a Cdk1 phosphorylation site at Thr344 on the same protein. The substrate selectivity for protein kinase CK2 was examined by performing kinase assays on protein microarrays spotted with 17,000 human proteins. Semisynthetic CK2α proteins were prepared to contain an unmodified C-terminal tail, S-GlcNAc-Serine at S347, or Pfa (non-hyrdolyzeable phosphomimic) at T344. These semisynthetic proteins were used to determine if the posttranslational modifications on CK2 alpha modulate the substrate selectivity for this pleiotropic kinase. The different semisynthetic CK2α proteins were tested alone and in the presence of the regulatory subunit CK2β since it is known that the CK2α subunit is active both in its isolated state and in the heterotetrameric state formed in the presence of the regulatory beta subunit. The CK2β subunit has been shown to modulate CK2 activity with some substrates and not others. In the study presented here, kinase assays were performed using three different semisynthetic CK2 alpha proteins: unmodified C-terminal tail; S-GlcNAc-Ser at 347; and Pfa (phosphomimic) at 344. The semisynthetic proteins were each tested alone and in the presence of the regualatory CK2 beta subunit. There were six different kinase conditions and each condition was performed in duplicate and one no kinase control was performed to eliminate autophorylated proteins.

CK2β is a gatekeeper of focal adhesions regulating cell spreading

Project description:CK2 is an hetero-tetrameric protein made of two CK2α catalytic subunits and two regulatory CK2β subunits. The free CK2α subunit and the tetrameric holoenzyme have distinct substrate specificity profiles suggesting that the spatiotemporal organization of the individual CK2 subunits observed in living cells is crucial in the control of the many cellular processes that are governed by this pleiotropic kinase. Indeed, sub-stoichiometric expression of CK2β compared to CK2α in a subset of breast cancer tumors was correlated with the induction of EMT markers and increased epithelial cell plasticity in breast carcinoma progression. Using phosphotyrosine profiling with affinity capture and LC/MS-MS, we show that decreased expression of CK2β in MCF10A mammary epithelial cells triggers the phosphorylation of a number of tyrosine phosphorylated proteins and promotes the striking activation of the FAK1-Src-PAX1 signaling pathway. Moreover, morphometric analyses also revealed that CK2β loss increases the number and the spatial distribution of focal adhesion signaling complexes. Together, our finding allows positioning CK2β as a gatekeeper for cell spreading by restraining the focal adhesion maturation and invasion of mammary epithelial cells.

Stem cell-like properties of CK2β-downregulated mammary cells [miRNA]

Project description:The ubiquitous Protein kinase CK2 has been demonstrated to be overexpressed in a number of human tumors. This enzyme is composed of two catalytic α or α’ subunits and a dimer of β regulatory subunits whose expression levels are probably implicated in CK2 regulation. Several recent papers reported that unbalanced expression of CK2 subunits is sufficient to drive epithelial to mesenchymal transition, a process involved in cancer invasion and metastasis. Herein, through transcriptomic and miRNA analysis together with comparison of cellular properties between wild type and CK2β-knock-down MCF10A cells, we show that down-regulation of CK2β subunit in mammary epithelial cells induces the acquisition of stem cell-like properties associated with CD44high/CD24low antigenic phenotype and the ability to grow under anchorage-independent conditions. These data demonstrate that a CK2β level establishes a critical cell fate threshold in the control of epithelial cell plasticity. Thus, this regulatory subunit functions as a nodal protein to maintain an epithelial phenotype.

Substrate selectivity for semisynthetic CK2 proteins with Pin1

Project description:Protein Ser/Thr kinase CK2 is involved in a myriad of cellular processes including cell growth and proliferation by phosphorylating hundreds of substrates, yet the regulation process of CK2 function is poorly understood. The CK2 catalytic subunit, CK2α, is phosphorylated at Thr344 and phosphorylation on the C-terminal tail of CK2α is required for interaction with Pin1 protein. The substrate selectivity for protein kinase CK2α was examined by performing kinase assays on protein microarrays spotted with 17,000 human proteins. Semisynthetic CK2α proteins were prepared to contain an unmodified C-terminal tail or phospho-Thr (pThr) at T344. These semisynthetic proteins were used to determine if the phosphorylation-dependent interaction of CK2α with Pin1 can modulate the substrate selectivity for CK2. The different semisynthetic CK2α proteins (unmodified and pThr344) were tested alone and in the presence of the recombinant Pin1 protein. Pin1 has been shown to interaction with CK2α only when CK2α is phoshorylated on its C-terminal site (including Thr344). In the study presented here, kinase assays were performed using two different semisynthetic CK2α proteins: unmodified C-terminal tail and phospho-Thr (pThr) at 344. The semisynthetic proteins were each tested alone and in the presence of the recombinant Pin1 protein. There were four different kinase conditions and each condition was performed in duplicate.

Cell cycle-dependent gene networks for cell proliferation activated by nuclear CK2 complexes [array]

Project description:Protein kinase CK2 is a conserved serine/threonine kinase that participates in various cellular processes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing profiling demonstrated recruitment of CK2α to the active gene locus, more abundantly in late G1 phase than in early G1. We analyzed the transcriptome of RPE wt and CK2α-ko cells, both arrested in early and late G1 during progression of the cell cycle. This study suggests that nuclear CK2α complexes, uniquely constituted during cell cycle progression, are essential for cell proliferation, by activating genes and synthesizing components necessary for cell division, specified in the nucleus and nucleolus.

SIRT6 is Essential for Adipocyte Differentiation through Regulating Mitotic Clonal Expansion

Project description:Preadipocytes initiate differentiation into adipocytes through a cascade of events. Mitotic clonal expansion, as one of the earliest event, is essential for adipogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms that regulate mitotic clonal expansion remain elusive. SIRT6 is a member of the evolutionarily conserved sirtuin family of NAD+ dependent protein deacetylases and plays roles in genomic stability, aging, glucose metabolism and inflammatory response. Here, we show that SIRT6 deficiency in preadipocytes blocked their adipogenesis. Analysis of gene expression during adipogenesis reveals that KIF5C, which belongs to kinesin family, is negatively regulated by SIRT6. Furthermore, we show that KIF5C is a negative factor for adipogenesis through interacting with CK2α’, a catalytic subunit of CK2. This interaction blocks CK2α’ nuclear translocation and CK2 kinase activity, and inhibits mitotic clonal expansion during adipogenesis. Thus, SIRT6 acts as an important factor of adipogenesis through inhibiting KIF5C expression and enhancing CK2 kinase activity.

Casein kinase 2 complex: a central regulator of multiple pathobiological signaling pathways in Cryptococcus neoformans

Project description:Casein kinase 2 (CK2) is a potential therapeutic target for several human diseases due to its crucial roles in growth, differentiation, and metabolic homeostasis. This study delves into the role of the CK2 complex in Cryptococcus neoformans, a key fungal pathogen causing meningitis. In C. neoformans, the CK2 complex is made up of a main catalytic subunit (Cka1) and two regulatory subunits (Ckb1 and Ckb2). The primary role of Cka1 is as a protein kinase, while Ckb1/2 assist in various cellular functions. Triple mutants without all three subunits exhibited more pronounced defects than mutants lacking only Cka1, hinting at potential independent functions of Ckb1/2. In animal studies, mutants without these subunits showed a sharp decline in virulence. Moreover, CK2 disruption affected many effector proteins and disrupted key signaling pathways crucial for the pathogenicity of C. neoformans. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of the CK2 complex in fungal biology and its potential as a target for new antifungal treatments.
